I still have in my wallet a credit card size say 1979 era
Rosco gel cutter. Now them’s a find even if not much use. Anyone else have one in the wallet?
So I loaned out my
gam check to someone today in him trying to find a
ground short amongst fixtures one of which had a
ground short. All fixtures on the bar had a good beep for the lamp and showed no
ground short. Useless for testing if a lamp is good yet the
fixture has a short thus not worth the money. I bought mine while still in the $130.00 range, still it’s not worth the money yet still a necessary tool. I also found it annoying that of two currently in my
road box, both in female
stage pin socket have loosened up so they are no longer dependable by way of something plugging into them ensured to have a good contact to
socket. What’s plugged into the female
socket in this case amongst two testers and new plugs plugged into them was by far un-dependable given older testers for what I was relying upon it to test. Gee, only a few $100K worth of show’s custom gear I was making. No reason to depend upon a good contact in the tester for a reliable result in testing. Two
Gam Checks, neither in the end were sufficiently dependable once a few years old and the sockets stretched a
bit. (I am not amused given this last weeks use of the tool. It’s going back into the lack of use part of my tool box now given it’s lack of dependability to adiqualy rely upon it’s testing ability.
On the other
hand,
Come see me if using a Robo
Grip or any type of tooth type gripping of the
bolt crap. Yep, you sweep the floors for the rest of the day in that
bolt in un-damaged condition being more valuable than your service. Granted it’s a good question of what’s going to damage the
bolt more a K-Mart auto center
C-Wrench with it’s jaws not so parallel, or that of a Robo-Grip, but the Robo
grip in my noting it’s use is easier to catch thus not something to be caught using as opposed to complying with the requirement but also crap.
That’s a nice toy, now have you finished sweeping the prop’s room yet? Take the “tool” home with you and work on your bike’s training wheels with it in stripping out or crapping up that
bolt, not cutting
thru and distressing the black oxide coated surface of my
Leko’s bolts with the laminated gripper jaws and in theory at least distributed pressure along the
flat of the
bolt while them teeth dig into the surface.
